Belle Vue Greyhound Stadium

That this House recognises the historic Belle Vue Greyhound Stadium in Manchester was the first purpose-built dog track in the United Kingdom when it opened in 1926; notes that it has also been used for speedway and stock car racing; understands that it is now subject to closure due to the current covid-19 outbreak having a particularly negative effect on it being able to operate; recognises the important role this stadium has played for the sporting life of Manchester for nearly a century now; and calls on the Government to explore every avenue available which might save Belle Vue Greyhound Stadium from closing forever.
